Higher vocational colleges and junior colleges are different.
There are five main differences between higher vocational colleges and junior colleges, namely, different expressions, different expressions, different forms, different names and different emphases.
1. The expression content is different: the junior college is from the academic level, and the higher vocational college is from the educational form, so the two are not contradictory. From the academic level, China's higher education is divided into three levels: junior college, undergraduate and postgraduate. According to the type of education, academic education at the junior college level can be divided into higher vocational education and higher vocational education. In other words, the content of higher vocational education is different from that of general college science, but both of them are college degrees recognized by the state.
2. Different types of education: Universities focus on theoretical education, which is a compressed version of undergraduate courses. Compared with higher vocational colleges, it is easier to be promoted to undergraduate colleges in the future; Higher vocational colleges pay attention to technology and practice, and the probability of entering undergraduate colleges in the future is very low.
3. Different forms: There are two main forms of university education: junior college and higher vocational and technical college. They only pay attention to differences, and there is no essential difference. The former focuses on ability, while the latter focuses on technology.
4. Different names: Higher vocational colleges and higher vocational colleges are ordinary colleges at the specialist level. The names of higher vocational schools are "x x Vocational and Technical College", "xx Vocational College" and "Vocational University". The name of the college is "xx College" or "Junior College".
5. The emphasis is different: the junior college emphasizes theory and takes the undergraduate education route, but the level is lower than that of undergraduate education. Higher vocational colleges are more inclined to practice and cultivate graduates with strong hands-on ability. They all have university degrees. A few years ago, vocational high school and junior college merged. The difference between them lies in the different training modes. Junior college belongs to academic education and pays attention to theoretical training. Higher vocational education pays attention to the cultivation of skills and students' practical ability. According to the results of market survey, vocational high school students are more popular with employers at present.
